to scorzeny45--randolph scott was not gay--just a smart dude who wan't gonna let a woman get him for all his money--that's why he waited a long to finally marry.

In this scene, Lee Marvin thought he was the Matador and Randolph Scott was the bull. Marvin finds out to his dismay that he is the bull! One of the greatest western confrontations of all time from one of the greatest westerns ever made. It's such a shame Hollywood no longer knows how to make films like this.

Two things make this scene in my opinion. First, we see Lee Marvin throughout the Movie practicing his draw. We see how fast he and then he gets killed before he can even touch his guns. The first time I saw it I thought someone else had shot him. Then we see Randolph Scott just beat him to the draw. Scott was preternaturally fast. Second. Scott is out for revenge Marvin for the money. Scott gets his revenge, but the final showdown is for the money.

Whoooo.....Randolph Scott draws faster than lucky luke. Poor Lee Marvin...he didn't even know what hit em.

@friginnutz - No he didn't. And, I'm going to give you the opportunity of apologising to Mr Scott and Mr Grant...

I like the exchange right before this. Marvin boasts "I just killed so and so." Scott: "Why?" Marvin: "Why not?" It's just so utterly cool and sinister. For what it's worth I think Lee Marvin basically invented the western tweener in this film, as in that morally ambiguous character that rides the fence most of the way but has to make the moral decision in the end. Obviously we see which way Marvin went.

+He was so fast that he had to have the newspaper boy toss today's paper to him tomorrow to catch it yesterday.

Seven Men From Now is a great Western and my favorite of the Randolph Scott/Bud Boetticher collaborations.

This final gunfight is excellent. I love the shock in Lee Marvin's eyes as he discovers that he is not nearly as quick on the draw as he thought he was.

Question: Did Randolph Scott draw first?

Of all actors Lee could get shot.

Get rid of the M and the R, get rid of the two E's and replace them with an I and an L, and Lee Marvin's name is an anagram for "villain!"!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, his name would be Lil Avin XD XD XD.
